380,000 new materials were dreamed up by DeepMind

A US-based team has created 41 new ‘chemically bound and unusual’ materials using artificial intelligence (AI) in 17 days. The system named ‘Gno ME’ was used at the Department of Energy’s Laboratory for Biologically Bound Materials (LBNL) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to predict the existence of materials. In 17 days, nine of the new materials were created after active learning improved the synthesis.
